MANCHESTER UNITED have reportedly agreed to offer Christian Eriksen a £150,000-a-week contract.
However, the Danish star is said to want to wait and see who else new manager Erik ten Hag brings to Old Trafford this window before offering his signature.

Eriksen, who spent the second half of last season on a short-term contract at Brentford, is a target for several Premier League clubs this window.
The 30-year-old is currently most likely to move to Manchester United, who are going through a transition phase under their new manager.
New boss ten Hag is hoping for a busy transfer window, and there have been strong rumors surrounding the potential signings of Tyrell Malacia from Feyenoord, Frenkie de Jong from Barcelona and Ajax winger Antony.
Eriksen is believed to be keen to wait and see if those signings are complete before committing to the proposed contract.
United are desperate to strengthen their squad and improve what was a disappointing season last time out.
Under a combination of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Ralf Rangnick the club could only manage a sixth-place finish in the league, missing out on Champions League football next season, while dropping out of all three cup competitions in the first rounds.
Eriksen has also been linked with signings from Brentford, Newcastle, Everton and Tottenham, with whom he has already spent six and a half years this summer.
The midfielder was forced into a long career break after suffering cardiac arrest in Denmark’s Euro 2020 opener last summer.

The midfielder was later fitted with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator, which Serie A does not allow, so his contract with Inter Milan was terminated.
Brentford then signed the free agent, who helped lift the Bees out of a relegation battle and secured the club a 13th place finish in their first top-flight season since 1947.
